The greed and glamour of Vegas are nothing new for comedian Steve Allen, until his show at the famous Colosseum ends in murder. Allen's wife, Jayne Meadows, rushes in with the horrifying news that crooner Buddy Hamilton's wife, Christie, was strangled in the sauna. Of all people, it's Buddy who looks like he cashed in his wife's chips, and even Steve thinks he did it. However, the facts don't add up, and Allen figures out there's more to the case than meets the eye.

" It was hard to give this an overall rating because it is a series of short stories edited by Michael Connelly. Some were very good and others were at the other end of the spectrum. I guess I like longer stories(novels) where I get more involved with the characters. "

" Its a collection of short stories, all based n Las Vegas, written by several authors over several years and now edited into a single book by Connelly. As with all short story collections this book too contains some memorable stories and several mediocre ones.Some are simply forgettable. "

" Overall, I expected the short stories to be of better quality than they were. While there are a handful of good stories, more than a fair share lack top notch interest and far less interesting than novels because some stories are too short. 5 of 10 stars "

" These were some good stories. Stories of greed, betrayal, and money. Not all stories start in Vegas but they sure end there. "
